Bunker B38

This bunker contains one access shaft and one interior space provided for a stepped firing opening for machine guns in an easterly direction. This field of fire was aligned with that of bunker B39. The bunker was equipped for the installation of a machine gun of the type Maxim, Hotchkiss or Colt. An oreillon (protruding bunker wall) at the southern corner served to additionally protect this firing opening. The entrance shaft could be reached via a few concrete steps.

The bunker was camouflaged as a brick building near the nearby farm. To this end, the curved concrete corners of the bunker were placed behind right brick corners and the whole thing was cemented. The loophole protruded behind a simulated doorway, while two so-called window openings were suggested on the side. A roof with blue Boom tiles was installed on top of the bunker. The bunker was surrounded by a barbed wire fence.
